Mashup: LipMe

Inspired by the mock interviews featured on Late Night With Conan Oâ€™Brien, LipMe allows users to cut the mouth out of any face - a newly taken picture of a friend, celebrity, animal or even an inanimate object - and create an impersonation using their deviceâ€™s front-facing camera. The app allows for users to add their voice to any photo, edit it using the Aviary tool, and share it through Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and email.
Available for iPhone 4, iPad 2 and iPod Touch.
